FJR1300

Last week in the Alps 8)

More power, bigger tank, smoother and better luggage capacity then the R1100S :) Too big for the daily commute, and a solo blast round the twistys :(

Looks good. I recon that the S is too wide for any commuting :shock: especially with the luggage :!:

I loikes the big FJR I does. :)

Followed a very well-ridden one up in Scotchland back in 2004 whilst on my TT600 (the one that didn't go pop). My giddy does that Yamaha shift a bit.

Agree about the Grossglockner, been there twice, and had to do it twice each time :D

Cheers

RoLoo,

Glad you liked the pictures, I take it you found them on my website :?
It was really cold on the Großglöckner, and we couldn't see much at the Hoctor. :cry:

We preferred the Dolomites, it was warmer, cheaper, and there are so many bends. We stayed three days in Arraba, which is close to Passo de pordoi, so there were lots of great roads on our doorstep.
